Can we find Jesus in popular entertainment? Can secular entertainment contain spiritual truths? Does an "R" rating automatically make a movie sinful, non-Christian, and valueless? Christianity Today's small group study guide called Faith and Pop Culture seeks to explore those questions. Eight sessions mean that this book can be digested in an 8 week period...or perhaps longer if discussion gets good.
It really dives in deep to issues such as sports, television, modern literature, violence in media, and non-family friendly media.
Overall, this is a great text to stimulate thinking. The articles are well-written. A bit more direction or suggestions to lead the questionings would have been nice. If your church is looking for a hip new Sunday School program for older Teens or young adults. Properly utilized, it will be a great tool in reaching the media-powered tech-driven world that we live in.
